Prevention & Removal Against Termites

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold amounts of damage to buildings in Whale Beach each year, creating a strong need for termite prevention.

Termite Removal

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at them briefly. There are two main management strategies conducted for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and next is with chemical treatment to make a barrier between the home and the colony. Call us today for additional information on the costs involved with various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are the more traditional strategy to kill termites in Whale Beach homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct benefits that should not be forgotten.

It’s important to bring in an expert termite exterminator to visit your house and evaluate the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a structure by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
